300 Workout for Men's Health Magazine

Back in February of 2007 a hot new workout hit the Men's Health magazine scene called the 300 workout. It was put together by a trainer named Mark Twight and was prepared for the actors who played the Spartan warriors in the movie, "300".

The workout was not done every day like this. In fact, it was described in the article as a "one time challenge". I don't recommend people do this 3 times per week.

The big mistake Men's Health magazine made when running the story was that they forgot to include photos of the unusual exercises in the program so they asked me to film one repetition of each exercise.

We did this video at a gym in Toronto. So that's how I came to be associated with the workout, although let me be very clear I did NOT design the workout program. I didn't train any actors from the movie 300. All I did was film the video. That's it.

All exercises are done without scheduled rest between moves. This is a better place for the average gym-goer to start.

As you get stronger and start to lose belly fat, you can replace the rows with pullups. You can also replace some of the jumping jacks with regular jumps. And finally, replace the close-grip pushups with the kettlebell clean and press. Then you can finally move on to the regular 300 workout.

The chances of contracting erectile dysfunction goes up substantially with age, increasing significantly above the age of sixty-five-which is rapidly approaching for the baby boomers. Although erectile dysfunction becomes more likely with advancing age, there is certainly no age cutoff for a sexually fulfilling life. Some men enjoy sexual activity even in their eighties and nineties. http://www.buy-viagra-with-us.com
